Dropline drops 143 vertical feet over 731 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces northeast.

How well Dropline holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Dropline gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,800 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
